I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Ecrin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ecrin desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Ecrin worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,050 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80 • Part-time carer (eight months): $770 • Medication and prescriptions: $200 If you're reading this, thank you. - Uğur

Thank you all. We're at 46% now ($480). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions.
